Martin Archery is For Sale

The Martin family has decided to sell its sixty-two year old archery business. Gail Martin, the company’s founder and President turns ninety next year and has decided to retire.

Martin Archery has been a major player and innovator in the archery business for many years making multiple contributions to the growth of the industry.

Gail Martin said “It’s time! There are so many things I have wanted to do for many years and have reluctantly decided that running the business makes it impossible to do them. Whoever buys the business will get a slate of state-of-the-art bows and will inherit a rich tradition.”

Wow! Best wishes to Gail in his retirement and thanks for all the innovation and contributions to the archery industry, their's no doubt Martin has helped us get to where the bows are today. Hats of to the company and family.

Good Luck, first bow I purchased was a wood riser Warthog, I was in pre-school. No seriously I was in high school, but PS doesn't make me sound so old. On the other hand a wood riser does make me old. lol

i haven't been able to confirm this "press release" through other sources. makes me wonder if this is just another AT rumor. nothing about it on Martin's web site other than a thread referring back to this AT posting.

hmm....since Martin started AT will it go away when the company is sold?

I hope the new owner of Martin Archery keeps the current name and history of this pioneering company. I do hope that we do not loose an Ameican influence in the Archery Industry. Gail, I wish you a happy retirement.
